My turn to agree with Garry on this one.

What you should be asking yourself is really,.....is this tenant paying market rent ? --- Are they an OK tenant other than being late ...? .? ---- and how much am I going to have to spend to turnover and prep their unit for a new tenant, at what rent ???

They seem to understand, accept and agree to pay your late fees. If they're honoring their commitment and time frame for getting you paid (all be it late),....seems like they're trying to make it work.

Perhaps a calm, quite conversation with them might be in order. No need to be a bully or read them the riot act,....but you do at least know what you have with these guys (meant in a good / positive way).

I think we've all had tenants we made a sincere effort to work with,....even bent way over backwards,...and they've ultimately turned out ok or even fine.

....and a note on grace periods and late fees. Industry standards seem to be that by the fifth,...or even the tenth of the month,....is ON TIME.......and your tenant is paying the late fees. Most judges will not allow late fees, penalties, bookkeeping charges, liquidated damages, additional overhead expense,......what ever we want to call it. To the judges it's all just JUNK FEES no matter what the lease says or how clearly and carefully the wording was crafted. The more gracious of judges will allow the LL to pursue those monies in a different court at a subsequent time, in a new / different action No matter what the actual law might be as it applies under LLT law or under contracts law. I've stood before judges who have straight up said...."" In my courtroom,..by the fifteenth of the month is on time."""
